Luke chapter 21 verses 13-15 (NIV)
And so you will bear testimony to me. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. Luke Christmas challenge day 21.
The words that stuck out to me here were “make up your mind not to worry beforehand…” How many of us worry beforehand about something that we know lies ahead of us? I know that this is something I can be guilty off. But we see here that Jesus tells us to take action – to make up our minds not to worry. The choice is ours. Do we trust that He will do as He promises and will give us whatever we need to face what lies ahead? That’s what He wants from us.
Dear Lord,
Grant me the resolve to make up my mind not to worry about what lies ahead. Help me to put my trust in You. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
